An 18-year-old Watsonville man broke his arm and was arrested for driving under the influence after he lost control of a car on Amesti Road early Sunday and busted through a fence and struck a home, the California Highway Patrol reported.

Miguel Garcida was speeding southbound near Orchard View Drive in a blue Acura Integra about 3:45 a.m. when he lost control on a curve and careened through a fence and some mailboxes, side-swiped a utility pole, crashed into landscaping boulders and came to rest against a home, officer Brad Sadek said.

By the time the Integra reached the home, it had slowed down significantly and did not cause serious damage, Sadek said.

CHP: DUI driver runs light, hits car

The driver of a Volkswagen Jetta was arrested Sunday morning after allegedly running a red light on Highway 9 at Glen Arbor Road and colliding head-on with a Toyota Prius, the CHP said.

No one was seriously hurt in the 9:05 a.m. crash, but both cars were towed and the intersection was blocked while emergency workers cleared the scene, the California Highway Patrol said.

The road was open by 10 a.m.

The driver of the black Jetta, 33-year-old Gavin Ferguson of Ben Lomond, was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence of methamphetamine, officer Brad Sadek said.

Ferguson was heading north on Highway 9 when he ran the light and hit the blue Prius, which was turning left from Glen Arbor, Sadek said.

Ferguson's dog, a small mixed-breed named Callie, was taken to the county Animal Shelter, Sadek said.
